pooping everywhere!

My cat has been running around my house, pooping everywhere for the last 3 days. I know it's not a behavoiur problem, because she seems scared and confused. I don't know what's wrong with her! Any ideas?

welcome !

First of all : welcome to the world of Pettalkers !!! It's so much fun to be here !!!!
How long do you have that cat of yours ??? If she is new , then do not worry ; she (or he) has to get used to its new home and family !!!!
But as Karen says , the cause can also be a medical one ; I would try to see a vet as soon as possible !!
Please get us updated on how it goes !! Success to you !!!

Welcome to Pet Talk. Fingers and paws crossed for you and your fur-baby that all goes well at the vets this evening. Do keep us posted on what the vet says. What is your cat's name?

[Duh moment here: by any chance is your furbaby named ... Maxx? Sometimes I swear I need a keeper! Good luck to you both!]

Well, it seems that the vet can find nothing unusual with Maxx, other than she has a bit of a fever. She is not to get any food for 24 hours to "empty her out", and she is on antibiotics. She is not a happy kitty at the moment! Her hunger cries this morning just about broke my heart. I hope this works!

Oh, Maxx is such a pretty girl. Would you please give her a cuddle for me? Is she starting to feel better yet, or is it still too soon to say?

Maxx has not had another episode since Monday morning. I am trying her on her regular food now, with the hope that the problem has passed for good. She is tearing around the house as we speak with her favourite toy, a plastic drinking straw, so I think she is feeling okay. Thanks for all your good wishes!

However, I wonder....do you know what happens with all the straws when she is done playing with them? It seemed like she was acting like she had some kind of blockage, and I'm no expert, but I think parts of a plastic straw might be the culprit if she chews on them when she's done playing with them.

Just an idea because I know you would feel so bad if that's what it turned out to be and you could have done something about it.
